I have fully incorporated powerclips into my surf fishing and my boat fishing toolbox. I discovered them when watching Tackle Advisor's youtube video : Tactical Angler Power Clip: Fastest Simplest and most secure way to attach your line to your lure. I did use a set of split-ring pliers to remove extra o-rings on my lures per Tackle Advisor's advice in the video to make it easier to clip on.I ordered a set of 50lb clips (which was the smallest available when I ordered) to use surf and pier fishing. It has made changing out between lures a breeze. I have used it on weighted jig heads, Krocodile, Kastmaster, LC Flash Minnows, and Coltsnipers with no issue. While these are good for ocean/bass, they are way too big to use with ultralight gear like trout. I'm curious about the 25lb ones that were recently added but I haven't personally used them yet. I do know I wouldn't use 50lb for trout.I also ordered the 125lb clips and used them on a recent boating trip where it handled my surface setups of surface irons, flatfall, butterfly, and larger Coltsnipers with no issues. I even sent down some heavier jigs to the bottom to yoyo and it handled my 9oz lure with no problem. Unfortunately the fishing was slow so I didn't get to test this with a heavy fish, only some decent bass, but I have confidence it will hold at least as well as a swivel.It did take some practice to get the lures onto the clips. It helps if the clip is already tied to line since you have more to pull against versus just on the clip. I'd recommend trying out the clips at home a couple times on your lure before trying it for reals wherever you go.One amazing usecase: someone had a hot reel on our boat, and I had too much slack and when I moved out of his way, my lure got wrapped around the guys line. Someone was able to get to my lure, unclip it, and free my line. This happened in about 3 seconds. The other fisherman didn't lose his fish and I didn't lose my lure or have to setup again.
